Wounding a zebrafish tail fin triggers a wave of calcium (the blue here is a low calcium area; the red, high calcium) that signals damage and recruits neutrophils. Summary Scientists at the Sloan ...

In a recent review published in the journal Nature Reviews Gastroenterology and Hepatology, researchers examine the multifaceted roles of neutrophils in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and highlight ...

In a recent Nature Reviews Immunology journal study, researchers assess the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. Study: Neutrophil ...

White blood cells, called leukocytes, are important for making sure your body stays healthy. They protect it from alien substances and fight infection. A higher-than-normal number of white blood cells ...

Neutropenia is the most common serious risk of cancer treatment. It occurs when white blood cells called neutrophils drop below a healthy range, putting you at increased risk of infections.
